Ah, my apologies, the binaries are closed source and the raws are public domain.
A better answer would have been KeeperRL

Autopsy Of A Freshly Cooked 10Gbit SFP+ Network Adapter
One time I had a dream where I had just bins and bins of different capacitors and people kept bringing in broken routers, modems, LEDs, remote controls, toys, industrial power supply units, you name it and I would just swap out the capacitors and it would all work again like some kind of fukin wizard rewriting the runes.

However it is unclear where Diablo stands. We have open source decompilations and remakes but as for the legality: grey area.

No, OpenAI keeps the debt until they file bankruptcy defrauding investors of many billions total. Likely right before the Trump admin ends so that they can bribe officials to let them off the hook.
The stolen cash is being used to pressure maintainers for things like Rust.

I prefer ethically sourced crab, tbh. I actually like the vat grown seafood because it is better for the environment and fresher inland.

You know what, you're absolutely right. You should keep your advice to yourself and go find a productive discussion to have elsewhere.

Arch Linux Now Believes Malware Incident Under Control: More Than 1,500 Affected Packages

Crowdstrike as in the compant responsible for a global outage for machines using it including airports, hotels, fuelstations, banks, broadcasting, and manufacturing?
The company that accidentally made every impacted machine boot-loop because they accidentally added a whole bunch of empty lines of code to production?

Let it be known that the first person to call it was actually Sam Altman when OpenAI's paper on AI Scaling Laws in 2020 subtly showed that the diminishing returns will stop showing improvement with infinite power, compute time, and data before 94% accuracy is reached.

Arch Linux AUR Malware Campaign Hits Multiple User-Contributed Packages
Users can check if they're already compromised with EDIT: No, sorry, alvr was just one of countless affected packages. Also, several is an understatement since a huge number of packages are affected.pacman -Q | grep alvr I think maybe?

Are you one of the malicious actors? Thats some shit I'd expect to hear from the people doing this, trying to justify the attack by blaming the users for "capitalism".

No, humans make less mistakes. Less. That's the key here, statistical models are trained on human data so by pure logic can never, ever, under any circuimstance, reach 100% accuracy. With current understanding of LLMs with a focus on AI Scaling Laws, and more importantly of natural human language adaptation, they will never reach 94% accuracy with infinite power and infinite training. That's what the curve shows us in OpenAI's 2020 research paper on AI Scaling Laws and later Deepmind's paper correcting their math, that the diminishing returns will hit a limit far before convergence.
In addition to that, the AI also cannot detect subtle changes to established problems or any new unaccounted for variables, because they're a statistical model and not capable of actual thought. They also lack any sense of responsibility for their actions for the same reason.
You fucking sloppers always try to say "HuMAnS mAkE misTAKeS, TOO!" Yeah and the fucking slopbots are trained on those mistakes and make them again but worse.

It's possible that the heat on Proton is a smear campaign.
Nah, while I understand the importance of Proton, I've also seen that Andy Yen dude be openly pro-Republican and supportive of Elon Musk, so I've got absolutely zero benefit of doubt to give them when controversies pop up and I absolutely understand that they have enemies.
EDIT: A quote comes to mind, "It takes years to build trust. Moments to lose it."

It will eventually be detected, but it passes tests before hitting production, that is the problem.

They might eventually try to pressure Firefox as well, as google is actually the largest funding contributor to Firefox. I wonder what the Open Source license dictates with the GECKO engine that firefox maintains? Could somebody make a fork and profit off of it or would we be forced to a different browser framework entirely?

It's so nice to see some people speaking reason. If only any of those people ran multibillion dollar companies.
